<TITLE>maklak (was RE: Jargon in Alaska Gold Rush?)</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Other than that the places where mukluk was used, and where CJ was used, in Alaska, were hundreds of miles apart? And there are no bearded seals anywhere where CJ is attested? Maybe I'm missing something. First off, is 'mukluk' attested in CJ as a word for waterproof, sealskin boot?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Still, if there was in fact significant use of CJ in Alaska and the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Klondike, isn't it likely that "mEqlEq" or "maklak" or something in between </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>was *in* Chinook (Jargon) regardless of where it may have been *from*?</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Quick note: 'Mukluk' doesn't come from Chinook; rather, it's a loan from</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Central Yup'ik Eskimo, maklak, where it refers to the species of seal</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>(bearded seal, a.k.a. thong seal) whence hard-bottomed mukluks are made.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>I think Robert Service, the klondike poet, uses terms here and there.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Check out "The Low-Down White" for an unpolitically correct usage of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>'klooch' (kloochman) and Siwash.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Check out "The Ballad of Hard-Luck Henry for a use of 'cheechako'</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Check out "the Ballad of Blasphemous Bill" for use of 'mucklucks' and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>'cheechako'</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>></FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>>Undoubtedly, there are more in Service's poetry.</FONT>
